Malifaux: Beckoners


The Beckoners are the second set of models I wanted to get done before Celesticon.

I decided to switch the skin tones from the official art for these models, just to be different.  This turns out to have been a mistake.  During the game, I had to be really careful I was marking the right stat card.

I’m pretty happy with this model, although it was a pain to pin the tiny feet to the base.  A bit of CA glue on the cane added another contact point.

I think these eyes turned out pretty well, although the skin is somewhat uneven.

The garter straps on this model didn’t turn out very well, although I’m not quite sure why.  Maybe it’s just too many colors (the dark blue boots, ret corset, purple stockings, and dark purple bottom) to look good together.

These eyes didn’t turn out nearly as neatly as the leaning Beckoner, but it still looks pretty good from two feet away.

Malifaux: Mr. Tannen


I wanted to round out the Jakob Lynch crew I started for the painting contest in time for the Celesticon causual play Malifaux event on Friday night.  My Gencon Wyrd order came last Tuesday, which gave me three days assemble, prime, and paint.

First up is Mr. Tannen.

Tannen’s jacket is the same blue as Lynch.  I like that they fit together, although it might be a bit too much.  Mr. Graves will definitely get a different color.

I was surprised when I opened the package to see two options for the arm behind his back: one with a knife and one with a card.  Since I’ve only ever seen the knife, I decided to go with the card.

I knew from the Wyrd forums that the Crossroads book lists an incorrect cost (5 soulstones) for Mr. Tannen.  The card included in the box had the correct one (6), but the card in the wave 2 arsenal deck is wrong (5).
